Washusker Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 He recruited a lot of stellar athletes that may not have looked at Nebraska if it wasn't for him. He won a north title last year, Nebraska's first since 99. Not much, but it's not like it's been a complete waste. There was some steady improvement and this year, things just fell apart and the train can't get back on the track. I don't take any pride in the North title, but Callahan has recruited the players necessary to run a more diverse offense. So when a new coach comes in, the switch to a different system need not be too diverse. But overall, Callahan has been a failure. In a professional sense, the guy is a loser. Quote Link to comment
HuskerPharaoh Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Recruited Adi Kunalic...in this particular case he was able to recruit to fix a weakness in our game. Cannot think of anything else now... Quote Link to comment
CowboyBob Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 not a supporter (for HC) anymore, but he brought in a major influx of talent while he was here. Pretty much the cupboard was bare when he got here, and now when he leaves, he leaves us something to work with at least. Much improved depth, more talent at skill positions and LOTS of young talent. Too bad he couldn't develope and coach it. Quote Link to comment
mattbri17 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Name 1 good thing that Bill Callahan has done for the program. Brought TO back. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Kicked Richie Incognito & David Horne off the team. Helped get Pud fired. Turned Brandon Jackson into a 2nd round NFL Draft Pick. Called OU fans F**CKIN HILLBILLIES Kicked the tar out of Dan Hawkins and Ron Prince last year. Turned Zac Taylor into an ALL Big 12 QB Quote Link to comment

Redbolt Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I think BC has done some good things for the Husker program, but hopefully he does the best thing yet for the program--just finish the season and leave. I still hope that the Huskers can salvage something from this season! I guess as a true fan I don't want to think about losing, rather I hope thinks will work out for the best of the program. I'm sure TO will make the best decisions for everything involved. Quote Link to comment

All his "steller recruits" there should be at least 1! Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 he has ran a clean program and seems to really care about his players.... thats about all I got. but I do have a lot of respect for him for that. I would rather have that and lose then have a corrupt winning program. we should be able to do both Quote Link to comment

All his "steller recruits" there should be at least 1! Lucky, Purify, Suh, Octavien, Bowman, Grixby, and several others. There is a good amount of talent on this team. Not to mention Brandon Jackson is already in the NFL. Quote Link to comment
Hingle McCringleberry Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 On Sunday night I spent some time in a S. Lincoln Bar (sounds like Vibrations 2, you know what i mean) anyway the bar tender there looked at me with seriousness and asked me why everyone wanted BC fired, thought he was supposed to be a good coach. Dont know if this qualifies as a BC supporter but its close. Quote Link to comment

Not even close to the bottom of the barrel. Helped Stu Bradley become an NFL Player Got rid of Barney Cotton Figured out that Cory Ross needed to be on the field and have the ball in his hands as much as possible (unlike previous staff, two words Josh Davis) Ruined the man the myth the legend Joe Dailey Helped divide Husker Nation “Forced” Andy Birkel and David Dyches to transfer Assisted in the game planning that focused on the shuffle pass against KU in 04 Came up with the awesome tricks plays that worked so well against CU in 06 Played vital role in the firing of One Steve Pederson (did I already say that?) Made people long for the days of QB trap right QB trap left Helped many anger filled people get booted off this board (formerfan, N**eless Husker, Solich Needed, etc.) Didn’t cheat on his spouse or establish a drinking problem With that I have now officially reached the bottom of the barrel.

BigRed1 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 All he can do is recruit after that he cant do anything. his players are great but the problem is, he is a dumba** Tom Osbourne used the walk on program and didnt get the most athletic players, but he could mold them from being decent players, to being great players. callahan should resign, stop coaching and work at taco bell.

There are 40-50 walk-on's on the team right now. People who say the walk-on program is in shambles simply haven't kept up with facts. Sure, it isn't Franks 100+ walk on team but it isn't like we only have 5 walk-ons. Quote Link to comment
